Use when the user asks where things stand mid-task — "status", "status report", "where are we", "what's the current task", "task progress", "what's next", "subagent status", "is the delegation done" — or wants a progress snapshot while work is still running. Answers NOW from the /task tracking files: current task, progress as a checklist, what is next, and sub-agent/delegation status. Important by default: never deferred to task end, never delegated, never turned into analysis.
